to prevent ants from...

a few days ago, i found ants crawling in and out of my laptop. i had no idea where they came from. maybe they got in there because i left my laptop open. i was clueless. i seldom eat or drink near my laptop and i placed it nowhere near anything that could attract ants. for like two days, i waited for the last ant to get out. i searched the internet and found out that ants in laptops are actually experienced by a lot of other individuals. so i looked for some advice on what they did to get rid of them.

some said to bring it to a service center and have it cleaned thoroughly, meaning, disassembling the whole thing. i wasn't really planning to do that until the second day when i found some of them still in there. i read some wise advice. to put sugar beside the laptop so that ants would crawl out and go directly to the sugar. i've killed a lot of them and after the sugar thing, 3 big ones got out. i'm guessing one of them was their queen. i read that if you take the queen down, the rest will follow. haha. after that, i didn't see any other ant. ;) what a relief! i searched for laptop sleeves over the net to protect my laptop from ants and other insects, or from dust. i went to the mall and found out that they were overly priced. so i went to cdr king knowing they sell cheap stuff (the ones they're selling are priced at P180) but they didn't have one that fits my laptop in the design and color that i want. so i went to the department store and i found the one. hehe.

i took a picture of it. it's cute and affordable at P249.75 compared to the others which ranged from P600-P2,000 up. my laptop came with a bag but it's too bulky and i don't really wanna put it in there each day and take it out time again since i use it a lot. so i really wanted a sleeve. i'm so glad i found one. ;) it was a tiring search but was worth my patience, and my mom's. ;) cheers!

What If? - posted last June 7, 2009

what if someone you thought you knew turned out to be a totally different person?
would you be able to accept it?

what if you found out that that person ruined the very foundation of you entire well-being?
would you be able to forgive?

what if your existence depends on that person?
would you have kept even the slightest bit of gratitude?

what if that person just didn't have any choice?
would you at least try to understand?

what if you're uncertain as to the best answers?
would you have done nothing?

what if all you could ever do is cry and feel sorry for yourself?
would you pretend everything is totally fine?

what if you decide to just move on with life as if nothing's wrong?
would you have peace of mind?

what if you never had this person in your life?
would life be not as miserable as it is now?

Congratulations, Kris!!! - posted last May 21, 2009

when matt was voted off, i told myself that i'm left with no other reason to continue watching the show. but i just had to be sure that danny never wins. hahaha. i know i'm being mean but i just don't think he's idol material. so i went ahead and supported kris while my mom chose adam. it's not like i'm no longer loyal to matt. i still think he's my american idol. however, let us not rob kris of his joyous victory. he seems to be such a really nice guy and i have absolutely no problem with him, hahaha, rose ann and i even woke up early to vote for him. kung alam ko lang na pwede pala mag-vote dito sa pinas for free edi sana noon ko pa binoto si matt hanggang dumugo daliri at tenga ko kaka dial at kaka tawag. aww. oh well, congrats, kris! and good luck matt. i hope you guys both come up with great albums. :) napa "aww" talaga ako when kris hugged his wife towards the end of the show. ang sweet. "sobrang cheezy!!!" hahahaha. :) yehey. good luck din kay adam. :) mukha naman sha mabait kahit na madami kabadingan chismis sa kanya. :) we'll be waiting for the next season. i hope manalo naman yung pambato ko next time. :)

Kris' shocked face, can't believe he won. :)

The cutest and sweetest gift I've ever heard of.

Blog Entry Oh come on... you can't kill George & Izzie! - posted last May 20, 2009

the season finale of grey's anatomy was a total shocker. ok, i heard rumors about izzie and george leaving the show but i never imagined him being hit by a bus trying to save a woman who is now convinced that george is her prince charming. oh my god... george please don't leave. i read someone said "RIP Dr. O'Malley," oh please... you can't kill him just like that. he's one of the best characters on the show. please keep him. and i really hope izzie lives. this is so depressing. i loved how they disregarded izzie's dnr and how john doe let meredith know who he really was. oh poor george. :( now i can't wait for the next season to air and find out what really happened to these characters i super love. aww. :(

Blog Entry Izzie Marries Alex - posted last May 10, 2009

Five seasons, 100 episodes after... I think this one's the best. I cried my eyes out over this episode when Alex and Izzie got married instead of Derek and Meredith. I didn't expect this at all. I was really hoping they would finally tie the knot but they gave Izzie her perfect wedding which I think is the sweetest thing they can do for Izzie, especially with her condition.

I've seen a lot of different tv dramas but I love Grey's Anatomy above everything else and I wouldn't want Izzie to die, or George to leave. I want them all. Plus, I also love Mark and Lexie's relationship.

Hehehe. :) Anyway, Derek and Meredith better get married soon. :)

Thank God they saved Matt - posted last April 16, 2009

When I found out about the new rule regarding the judges' save, I thought that it wasn't fair because it alters America's votes. I just didn't think it was right. When you gotta go, you gotta go... That was me then. Until last night when Matt's performance disappointed me. It's not like he wasn't great. He just lacked that certain spice. From the moment the show ended last night, I was pretty sure he'd be down at the bottom 3.

Today, I was so eager to check the results online only to find out that the judges have already used their "one save". I read that they used it on Matt. OMG. I was so happy and thankful to whoever came up with that save thing. I definitely think that Matt just had an off night last night and I'm certain he can perform better than that. We all know that - that's why the judges saved him in the first place.

I just hated Simon for stating that he doesn't see Matt winning the competition. Simon, why did you even save him if he wasn't worth it? You could have waited another week to use your save. Admit it. Matt deserved it. Period. He doesn't have to go. And I hope that he performs so much better next week so he doesn't get to be one of the two people to be sent home and to prove to the judges that they made the right choice. :)

Thank you Lord for keeping Matt.

(OA pero basta. I like him. I want him to win. )

Ipilan Days - posted last April 14, 2009

(In the photo: Tita Tes, Me, Zaira, and their dog. She looks like Marley, right? Her name is Butching Hehehe. I have no idea how they came up with that name. *WINK*)

When I realized how long 6 days would be, I started thinking about things I could do to make it seem shorter. I knew I had nothing to do while in San Antonio because Binang won't be there and I really didn't want to go out much. But when Tito Imboi said that Tita Tes had internet connection, I was more than happy. Hehehe.

So each night we would go to their house and teach Zaira how to use her new computer bought by Tito Ciso. Zaira is my 11-year-old second cousin and she's really smart. Hehehe. She has a huge collection of medals she received since she started schooling.

I really don't spend much time with them before because Ipilan is more or less a 10-15 minute walk from our street and knowing me, I'm too lazy to walk. Hahaha. But Tito Imboi would bring Adjie and I to Ipilan and spend each fun night there. We even got close to Amie, one of the kids we grew up with in San Antonio.

We would sing, eat, drink and play all night. It was so much fun.

Now that I'm back in Manila, I can't wait to go back there and spend more time in Ipilan. Hehe. Now I can remember what I used to feel when I was younger... how much I wanted to stay there for good - where life is slow, simple but happy. :)
